Mahindra has a host of new launches lined up for 2024. The year will most likely start with the launch of the facelifted XUV300. In the last few weeks, test mules of the subcompact SUV have been spotted on several occasions, thus indicating its imminent launch is around the corner.
As mentioned earlier, this will be the first major update to the XUV300 ever since it was launched in 2018. Another set of spy shots have leaked online which give out critical details about the upcoming iteration of XUV300. More importantly, the latest spy images give a clear visual of the SUV’s cabin interiors.

The latest set of spy shots give a clear glimpse of the cabin interiors of the upcoming XUV300. The images show that the facelifted XUV300 will feature a dual-tone themed cabin with off-white seat upholstery and a blacked-out dashboard. Further, the dashboard will house a larger free-standing touchscreen infotainment system which is expected to come with a new OS.
Other updated features include a redesigned centre console, a digital instrument cluster, new steering wheel, and an electronic parking brake. Besides these, the 2024 XUV300 facelift will retain features such as an electric sunroof, auto-dimming IRVM, front and rear centre armrests and 3-point seat belts for all passengers.
Mahindra XUV300 facelift exterior
The XUV300 facelift is set to receive plenty of changes on its exterior. The most prominent of those will be centred around its front fascia. The face gets a redesigned nose which is sealed-off and flanked by revised projector LED headlamps with integrated C-shaped LED DRLs. The front bumper is reprofiled as it houses a larger air dam and new fog lamps.
Even the profile will witness significant changes with a new tailgate featuring connected LED taillights, new LED taillamps, and a boot lid spoiler. The rear bumper also looks reshaped with chrome inserts expected on side skirtings. Side profile remains largely unchanged, the only difference could be new alloy wheel designs.
